You were about this age when you announced that when you grew up and got married, you and your husband would be staying in Dad's and my bedroom. When I asked, "What about Dad and me?", you didn't blink an eye. "You can live in the barn"
That was about 24 years ago. And now, at 27, you're singing a different tune. You also have a better haircut :)
You're leaving us soon, Lisette; the very last one to go. It's YOUR birthday and your birthday wishes to be granted.
And although I can't wish it, I do wonder: IF Arson had NOT burned down our barn and IF we had turned it into nice living quarters, could we have struck a deal with you? We stay in our room and you take the barn?
Happy Birthday, my Sweet Girl.

Happy Birthday my Smelly Poo.
Happy Birthday, Lisette.
Doesn't Martha have a barn?
This post makes me sad for you Mom...
Happy birthday Smelly
I think I might have given you that haircut.
Happy Birthday love!
More like you shared the haircut! Happy birthday love.
Thanks for the love!
Buuuut, would you say this was the BEST picture you could find? I think I was a pretty cute child, but I look deranged in this picture. Like, I actually look like a Chucky doll. Is that acne on my face?? When was the last time I slept???
Oh man. That's funny stuff.
Happy birthday, Lisette. You are welcome to my barn anytime. I think there's a few semi inflated pool rafts with your name on them.
Lisette, how bout that rainbow velour turtle neck and the fuschia cordoroy overalls.
Well, I don't know about you, but that's one of my favorite pictures.
Alright already!
No, this isn't my favorite picture either but I couldn't find another with you alone except for those I have professionally nailed (by Dad, Wyman Galleries days) in frames.
Man. I really wish I had taken more pictures of you younger kids. Wonder why I didn't???
SOMEWHERE I have one of my favorite pics; the one with you sitting in my flower bed in front of the house. Unlike Mary (one I have of her in Red Creek), you are not covered in mud and you are not eating the petals. Hahahaha!
Happybirthdaylisette!
PS the coveralls are not fuschia. That was Martha's favorite color to wear.
They are a dark ruby.
And the turtle-neck was on top of a teal shirt.
And it was comfy warm.
The haircut? God only knows! Your hair was up for grabs by many of us.
Happy birthday, Lisette! And don't worry, I didn't buy Aloise any flowers on your birthday.
My computer's been down for a couple of days, and boy oh boy am I glad it's up. Lisette, your comment was the best. Love you.
All I know is that I am having Chucky nightmares now
